Ouch, that is terrible. With the 5e book if you want to design an encounter with a band of demons you turn to the "demon" section and choose some suitable creatures, but now you have to flip all across the book and try to find the demons? Who on earth thought that was a good idea?! I guess this...

Where are you fighting if you need to bring your own cover?

Great for generating Engagement though, which is what matters to most websites.

In that case the "DM decides if it is appropriate to hide" is completely redundant with the base gameplay loop. Might as well preface other rules with "The DM decides if it is appropriate to attack" or "The DM decides if it is appropriate to cast a spell".

It was common for colonial regimes to keep some of the colonized people around to exploit them economically.

It's TSR and Ed Greenwood's native country, WotC is the colonist.

That doesn't mean he's happy to see WotC destroy their version of the setting.

Probably means he's trying to limit the amount of damage the current D&D writing team does to the Eberron setting.

He also pays people to play video games for him using his account, and then brags about his "achievements". Scummy doesn't even begin to describe it. How you do one thing in life is how you do everything...

My impression is that for players who start with 5.5 and only own those books, fey goblins will be the only ones that exist.

Game designers are more like artists than business people. Unless management has them on a tight leash they're more likely to follow their own creative vision and then look for commercial arguments to support it than the other way around.

An "appropriate challenge" in D&D is not a fair fight, but a fun fight the PCs win while expending some of their daily resources.

Most people in D&D can't do this though. A powerful spellcaster can tell you that he spoke with the gods, but you personally have no way of verifying the truth of such statements, you have to take them on faith.

I'm sure I would have watched it, but it never aired in my country.

My greatest critic is myself.

As a miniatures enthusiast I prefer dragons to have more or less the same appearance aside from color, that way I can paint any dragon figure as any color dragon and it will fit.

The ability is more or less a ribbon so I wouldn't replace it with anything. Don't like it? Don't use it! Your character won't be any weaker for it.

Isn't that more of a fiend pact?

Capybaras are their own kind of creature. No one who has encountered a Giant Space Capybara has ever returned to tell the tale.

Only content that's been superseeded by new versions is considered legacy on D&D beyond, so most of the 2014 stuff outside the PHB isn't legacy. If you want to play with 2024 content only you'll have to restrict available sources to the 2024 PHB.
